is beyond 'samaj' (a Gujarati word, meaning understanding). GOD is beyond understanding. On the contrary, understanding must go.

 

“All this is fun—tamasha or play. Mind must go. How can mind be annihilated? The fun lies in that the mind must annihilate itself. But the moment the mind tries to annihilate itself, the mind works. If I tell you to jump over this person or this thing, you can do it. But if I tell you to jump over yourself, you can't do that. You can take a somersault, but you cannot jump over yourself. There is a suggestion; there is a remedy; that is LOVE.

 

"Now, let us take ordinary human love into consideration. Say a man loves a woman deeply and both are sitting together. Both love each other. They don't think if the other is blind or sick or maimed, etc. The mind does not work on those things but the mind is all on possessing him or her (as the case may be) and to kiss the other or embrace the other.

''Listen please, now we will have prayers. After prayers, I want you all to approach Me one after another in an orderly fashion, and embrace Me. Every one of you should meet Me intimately and embrace Me. Only today and not everyday of the Sahavas, you should embrace Me, just as a man and a woman who love each other so much and so intimately. I will not mind anyone having 'flu' or other illness and do not mind any infection from anyone who is ill. Make most of this opportunity that is afforded to you all today. Come near Me and embrace Me . . . Who knows tomorrow through this intimacy, My temperature may not rise 5 degrees?" (laughter)

 

"In the Sahavas of last week we had one Swami named Mangalanand of Mandala living in a 'kutir' (abode or hut). That land formerly belonged to Me, but now it does not belong. I have given it away on a trust. This Swami
